- The action at Mechili was an engagement between units of the British 7th Armoured Division of the Western Desert Force and Italian forces of the 10th Army during Operation Compass. The Italian Army redeemed itself from the campaign's previous disastrous fiascoes. The previous British advantages in reconnaissance, maneuver, and artillery support were greatly reduced due to the British supply shortages in fuel and artillery ammunition, the battle field was now hilly and broken terrain, and they had not yet set up forward air fields. The Italian army positioned well, set up effective fields of fire, maneuvered well, had successful local counter-attacks, and inflicted casualties commensurate with what they received. They delayed the British for days, and retreated in good order with lively and effective rearguard actions. At the coast the British pursued West along the Via Balbia and inland pursued WSW to cut the Italian retreat at the Battle of Beda Fomm. (en)
- L'action à Mechili est un engagement entre les unités de la 7e division blindée britannique de la 13e corps et les forces italiennes de la 10e armée pendant l'opération Compass, nom de code de la première opération militaire d'envergure conduite par les Britanniques contre les troupes italiennes dans le désert de Libye durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'armée italienne s'est rachetée des précédents fiascos désastreux de la campagne. Les avantages britanniques antérieurs en matière de reconnaissance, de manœuvre et de soutien d'artillerie ont été considérablement réduits en raison des pénuries d'approvisionnement en carburant et en munitions d'artillerie, le champ de bataille étant maintenant en terrain accidenté, et ceux-ci n'avaient pas encore mis en place des aérodromes avancés. L'armée italienne se positionna à son avantage, mit en place des champs de tir efficaces en manœuvrant avec succès en lançant des contre-attaques locales et infligea des pertes proportionnelles à celles reçus. Ils retardèrent les Britanniques pendant des jours et se retirèrent en bon ordre avec des actions d'arrière-garde vives et efficaces. Sur la côte, les Britanniques poursuivirent vers l'ouest le long de la Via Balbia, ainsi qu'à l'intérieur des terres pour couper la retraite italienne à la bataille de Beda Fomm. (fr)
